Today I have been mostly thinking:
“Nothing ever bloody anything bloody ever.”
So there.

Happy Thought for Today
April 30, 2008 – 1:39 pm
Enormous Cast
April 29, 2008 – 1:54 pm
Big Arena Records is gearing up for the mother of all launch parties. To celebrate they are releasing the stunning Enormous album ‘Electric Baby Grand‘. This will be out in a few weeks and I am very excited.
To celebrate, the handsome genius singer songwriter Davy Lawrence is recording a series of podcasts, to be found […]
Riding the Nightmare Cycle
April 28, 2008 – 1:45 pm
I was at my mother’s house, looking through the window of my old bedroom, which looked out onto the back garden. On the grass was stood a stooped old woman, with a blue rinse and a little active terrier, happily running around her feet. The woman was wearing a large black overcoat, with a furry […]
Rive My Heart in Two
April 25, 2008 – 12:18 pm
It is with a hulking heavy heart and a tender teary eye that I bid farewell to one of my closest and dearest friends. Bronte is going away. Not just a little further away but to an entirely different continent. She is moving to Canada with her husband. The chances of ever meeting again are […]
Royal Eyes
April 24, 2008 – 12:25 pm
Pip and I have now experienced the look of royalty. Walking down Fleet Street yesterday, enjoying the beautiful spring sunshine, we were stopped in our tracks by a large number of police motorcycles. The mounted riders each had a tiny whistle, which they were blasting merrily away on like a song bird with tourettes.
We were […]
Boys Aren’t Allowed
April 23, 2008 – 12:58 pm
I had to face George this morning and tell him I am not prepared to play any part in his sick Paul Young cover versions band. As he stood before me in his tinsel wig and bowler hat I saw a little white tear form at the corner of his eye. His head was lowered […]
Doves and Monkeys
April 22, 2008 – 1:13 pm
I saw a tribe of moneys in central London yesterday. I admit that I often have a little difficulty discerning most humans from base primates but these were the real thing. (‘The Bass Primates – great name for a band’ – funked-up Ed.)
They were clinging to the side of the Unilever building near Blackfriars Bridge. The […]
What Not to do When Drunk No. 21

The Hot Bottle Water Trick
It is one am on Saturday morning. You have had more than a bottle of wine and are off to bed, it has been a long day. It is a bitter cold night and your alcohol-addled mind thinks it would be a brilliant idea to use your beloved hot water bottle.
You […]
The Galloway Bubble Bus
April 18, 2008 – 3:16 pm
I am now being pestered and pursued by an altogether different George. This one is of the Galloway variety. The Scottish politician, author and celebrity fool has been following me around London. He currently represents the Respect party for the Bethnal Green and Bow constituency, my constituency. I must admit that I did not vote […]
George’s Love of the Common People
April 17, 2008 – 1:51 pm
George has got it into his little head that it is an amazing idea to create a Paul Young cover version band. He is pestering me everyday, trying to turn me onto the joy of Paul Young’s musical oeuvre. He is desperate for me to play guitar, Pip on bass and Bugsy to bash his […]
